O = Oxford, England

I had stumbled on this Youtube video when I searched places that started with "o". I have never been out of the country, or the time zone!  I think Oxford, England would be a great place to go!  I never have visited a castel before either, and Oxford seems to be the place to do that!

I found my information at this website:

1. Visit Oxford Castle after dark! "Every Thursday delve into Oxford Castle’s sinister side with mysterious sounds, smells and sensations reported at Oxford Castle – Unlocked visitor attraction. It’s a chilling tour - can you hold your nerve? Your tour will take you to the most haunted areas of the Castle site including the dark atmospheric 900 year old underground Crypt."
2. To go on a balloon ride.  "Adventure Balloons was the first hot air balloon flight company to work with Oxford City Council in 1995 to enable balloon flights from the City Parks. This enables passengers to view the dreaming spires and the countryside around Oxford during their flight."
3. To go boating. "One of the most fun (and popular) activities in Oxford, and also a great way to see a side of the city not often seen, is to rent a punt - a long, narrow, shallow-bottomed boat propelled by a long pole. Punting boats are for hire between Easter and September."
4. To visit a giant library. "The Bodleian was opened in 1602 by Thomas Bodley with a colection of 2,000 books. Today, there are more than 9 million items on 176 kilometres of shelving."
5. Visit a British Theater. "The Sheldonian Theatre was built in 1668 from a design created by Christopher Wren. It was named after Gilbert Sheldon, who was Chancellor of the University at the time the construction was funded. The theatre is used for music recitals, lectures (such as the annual Romanes Lecture), conferences, and for various ceremonies held by the University (such as graduation and matriculation). Handel performed here, including the first performance of his third oratorio Athalia in 1733.
6.  Visit the Botanic Gardens!  "Located on the peaceful banks of the Cherwell River, the gardens were started in 1621 as the Physic Gardens, for the study of medicinal plants. These are the oldest botanic gardens in Britain. In addition to the lovely outdoor gardens, there are greenhouses which grow many varieties of exotic plants and flowers. Just next to the gardens, crossing over Rose Lane, there are rose gardens that are exquisite in July."
7. Visit the Ashmolean Museum! "Contained in a gorgeous building across from the Randolph Hotel, the Ashmolean has paintings, coins, musical instruments, antiquities, statues of deities, and a must see Egyptian exhibit. Cafe and Museum Shop."

All together Oxford sounds really interesting!  The castle would definitely be the first thing on my list, because it would be real scary!  I think I would enjoy most of the activities and I would love to see the art that the city of Oxford has!
